~ Das' long stride forced me to trail behind as he walked out of the  ostentatious  restaurant and to the parking lot. 
" All you had to do was sit and eat, maybe nod politely at the odd phrase, that's it Amaras" 

His piercing words and harsh tone, were gritted out through a clenched jaw. I'd never seen him this upset before but I couldn't help  my own hackles raising at the accusatory words. 

" Because standing by and watching as someone I care about is insulted is the norm for a family dinner."  I attempted to flick my hair out of my eyes as I said my piece.

A cold gaze cut back towards me, Das' frown twisting  his face into something harsh and dangerous as he glanced back to meet my eyes.

"They're family, you of all people should understand that."~

Amaras stopped seeing herself as something worthy of love a long time. All she wants to do is enjoy the time spent away from her tumultuous home life, and maybe embarrass herself a little less every time she speaks to a stranger. 

Das is tired. So fucking tired of being alone and unaccepted by the only family he's ever known.  Each day feels more and more unbearable as he struggles to prove himself. Meanwhile the constricting vines and sharp thorns of his own family history  seem ready to devour him whole. 
 
Amaras and Das may not be looking for each other but circumstances force them together time and time again. Both  have jagged edges and painful scars. It's just a matter of who walks away, while the other bleeds out.

The story is complete. If you are searching for something which is not just romance, but emotions and a lot of drama, this is the right book for you. I'm attempting to write something unconventional, exploring not just the love life of these characters, but their history, their family and their bond together. ***** He took a seat by the kitchen counter. With the cream coloured shirt on, he looked so much like, like he belonged here. Like, he was all, mine. I could stand by the kitchen counter and stare at him forever. How cute and innocent he looks. How can I not be selfish when it comes to such a lovely balloon of happiness. How can I let him go for Tara? I can't. I simply can't. I served the dinner on two plates and we sat down eating. Every now and then, I kept looking at Abhaas. He's as much a friend to Tara as he's to me, maybe a little more than a friend to me but he's also a friend who wishes to help her. I'm being the low, loathsome nasty human being that is keeping him all to myself while he can go out to help her. How selfish am I? He's this precious jewel that I'm keeping captive. He's the golden bird in the cage of my friendship. I have no right to take away his right to fly. He should go out, see more trees, play with more flowers, maybe soar high in the sky to reach the stars, his star, his Tara. Sunshine is something he doesn't need, he doesn't need Ahana. He needs, night... darkness. Darkness that illuminates numerous stars that are awaiting his presence. A faint voice fell on my ears as Abhaas side hugged me. It's late, he's going back home. He left the house, the house of first ray of sunshine, to welcome the night, the darkness, the absence of sunlight. Do read my book Forever: The cream sweater

"Stop that." I jumped slightly as my eyes shot over to the familiar hulking form standing in the doorway of my bathroom. I always forget how tall Derek is until I'm standing right next to him. Or in this case in front of him. "Stop what?" my brows furrowed as I watched his reflection fully enter the room until he stood right behind me. His large hands rested on either side of me on the counter, trapping me between his arms. His chin hovered over my left shoulder as his forest eyes scanned my face in the mirror, his lips forming a small barely noticeable frown. But I noticed it. "Stop judging yourself." was his simple reply, but I know that something like that is easier said than done. "you're beautiful, red..." he leaned in further and I could feel his hard chest pressed against my back, making my insides do somersaults. "if you knew what I've done... the people I've hurt... you wouldn't think I was beautiful either..." ...... Alice Books has blood on her hands and doesn't believe she deserves a shot at redemption. A shot at love. Or a shot at life in general. What she did to have blood on her hands was out of self-defense and survival, but she doesn't see it that way and doubts she ever will... Until she meets the bad boy, Derek Wilder, who- underneath all the glares, tattoos, piercings, and leather jackets- is an absolute goofball. He sees Alice for all she's worth: Strong, beautiful, and not the cold-blooded murderer she likes to claim she is. He's determined to prove it to her no matter how long it takes- all the while fighting demons of his own. Will Alice continue to think she's the monster the voice in her head claims her to be? Or will Derek's demons ruin everything for everyone? ............... I will be uploading every MONDAY! ⚠️trigger warning⚠️ This story does contain ABUSE! so if that is something that you are not comfortable reading, I ask that you DO NOT READ! you have been warned...

"Nia." Her name softly fell from his lips and she soaked in his sweet breath like a pancake to syrup. Her eyes were low and she was watching his chest rise and fall.

With just this brazen touch alone, being this close, closer than they'd ever had before, her fingertips pressing into his skin with a lusty intention, Nia knew she was crossing a line before she had even crossed it.

{18+ COMPLETED} "I don't understand why you won't tolerate the idea when we're both about the same no-strings fun." "Maybe because I just don't like you," I argue. "I don't believe you." Ellis' voice startles me, not just by how low and husky it is, but by the close proximity, his breath fanning over my bare neck. Turning around I inhale sharply at the sight of his pale blue eyes boring into mine, his hands resting on either side of my head against the metal, muscles tensed as he holds himself off of my body. His body is easily double the size of mine, a notion that makes my breath almost stop as he continues to hover there, his face angled down as I trail my eyes over his facial features. Without thinking my lips part, his own mirroring my actions, a sign that he's just as affected by me as I am by him. ---------------------------------------------------- Spin Off. Can be read as a STAND ALONE book... however, it makes more sense if you read The Test of Time first. Becky Gordon has no time for men. Although, she does tolerate some hours with them; non-stop one night stands, one time excursions in the gym locker rooms, swift daytime quickies. She's always been the same, ever since high school. Only once has she ever considered the possibility of something more, but that idea blew up in her face, proving to her that she's better off alone. Yet years later, the very man who made her doubt everything is back, catapulting into her life like never before. He's determined to make things right and won't take no for an answer. She can't deny the things he makes her feel, their similar humor and quick wit, the lust that pulses through her at the mere sight of him. But she's resisted his womanizer ways since high school, and what's really changed since then? Can Becky continue to resist Ellis Wakefield? Or does having a little bit of perseverance really pay off?

My eyes meet the set of eyes that had me irritated all evening before she quickly looks down, biting her lip. She doesn't look up after she places the tray of drinks in front of me but just stands as if waiting for me to say something. "Would you like to sit?" I ask before picking up my glass. "What?.." she answers, not knowing what to say. I make a come hither gesture. "Would you like to sit, love?" I asked softly, my voice raspy and low from the joint I was smoking. She straightens up a bit, before shaking her head, refusing my offer. I sigh before leaning forward for her to bend again. "You know, love, I know you were working and I also know that you should have clocked out hours ago but you didn't. You were just helping them out." She gasps in surprise, lifting her gaze to me as I said this. "I saw you on your way out with your bag before you decided to stay back after staring at me the first time. So, again, sweetheart, would you like to sit?" I ask with smirk on my face. She blushes before she decides to take a seat between Yareli and myself. I barely register Yareli getting up with a smirk and walking past us as my eyes are on this dark curly hair. ---------- Understanding the meaning of "capricious", came to Sage at the young age.

Friendships were valuable and clear to her that's why she had Bella and the terrible three. Question is, how long till you decide it's enough and make a choice?

I take a step closer to him, slowly dragging my finger up and down his chest, and stare up innocently at him. His stare is so intense, and as if he knew what I was trying to do, his eyes narrowed down at me. "You know...you smell nice," I start off, smiling and staring deep into his beautiful eyes that capture my gaze. His lips curl upwards, "Do I now?" I nod slowly, still smiling, and respond, "Yeah...But I smell something else too." One of his eyebrows lifts up, "Yeah? What is it?" I smirk, "I smell a little bit... of a prick too." His smile drops as he glares down at me. I remove my finger just as the bell rings, and I walk backwards, "Bye, see you later, Woods." I wink and turn around, walking away feeling victorious. ◇◇◇ A classic 2 childhood best friends story.
